Historically, Americans have shown their support to our troops serving at war. By writing letters, mailing care packages, or by showing support for a deployed troop or veteran's family, we honor those who serve. All volunteer Operation: Care and Comfort (OCC) is proud to continue this tradition of service.
Care packages are packed and sent monthly, to adopted military units. Our volunteers are aged 5 and up, and we meet with the goal of packing and sending a little “touch of home” to the men and women who serve our country. Over a million pounds of care packages have been packed and mailed by OCC. At $2.75 a pound, postage costs are our greatest expense.
“I just wanted you to know your thoughtful boxes made it
to Afghanistan, and that they are much appreciated. Your
actions on behalf of service members and veterans means
the world to those of us who serve or have served. Just
knowing that we are remembered, and that so many have
contributed their time and efforts into helping us when we
are so far from home makes getting through the days
easier. It may not make the news, but most of us are
proud to be here, and proud of the accomplishments of our
teams and our Afghan counterparts. It remains, however,
difficult to be so far from our families, and the cards you
send are used to keep those bonds strong. So, please
know that you and your colleagues and organization have
made a difference and are much appreciated.”
“I wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the support of our deployed Soldiers through Operation Care and Comfort. It was a great success here with the 357th MP Company and lit up the smiles like dominoes when they saw they received something and were all excited to share with their friends to their left and right. Many of the Soldiers are on their first deployment here and they are really missing home. Seeing the awesome support from you and your staff is an eye opener to them. Now they can see the care and love that you have shared here.”
“My unit and I are very grateful for the care package
you sent to us. I want to personally thank you for
your support. Please pass our thanks onto the other
volunteers. It is so great to know America is
supportive of what we do over here. A little about our
unit... we conduct daily outside the wire missions, and
we routinely communicate with local Afghani children
and adults when on our missions. Our goal is to keep
the base safe and return home to the country we all
are fighting for and to those that support us, like you.
Thank you.”
Remember, $16 donated to OCC sends one small care package box to our troops overseas, in conflict regions and while serving on humanitarian missions. Please join us!
